So good. The food is super tasty and the service amazing. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Everything I've ordered has been awesome. Our favorite spot for dinner every time we're in Santa Barbara.

Wonderful convenient Mexican restaurant in a food court-like area of the shopping center right next to the movie theater. Plenty of free parking. Indoor and patio seating. Lots of menu choices & very friendly and helpful staff. Great place for lunch or a quick bite while shopping. High quality ingredients & very flavorful food. Highly recommend!

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in town! The food is authentic and reasonably priced, plus the included salsa bar lets you add some spice to your day. My favorite items include the tacos, carne asada, and California burrito.

Staff is very welcoming, attentive and friendly. Salsa bar ilcan make any salsa lover happy... Every color, heat level and pepper variety imaginable. I ordered the stuffed poblano with homemade tortillas. Delicious! This is next level fresh and quality. Outdoor seating is especially nice. Crowded at lunch but they handle the crowds well!

Agaves Enchiladas and Chiles Nortenos (per friend recommendation) were delicious, good portion sizes and even the rice and salad sides were so good. Horchata was alright, a bit too sweet, but the food made up for it :)

I love this place for its good food, convenient location, and fast service. I'd recommend its branch on De La Vina if you want a better ambience.

Great food! Huge portions. Outdoor seating is very nice. For safety sake, they might want to move some of the plants around. Between the umbrellas, tables & and plants, it is a bit difficult to navigate.

My favorite Mexican place in Goleta and possibly Santa Barbara. I mean there could be something better, but I am quite preoccupied spending time and Tuesdays here. I mention Tuesdays because of their Taco Tuesday special offer with street tacos at cheaper prices. You would think that since they are the less glorified and the simple version of their monstrous tacos, these street tacos are the bee’s knees, and I could eat 10 of them! Of course, they have more to offer but I am a simple taco girl myself. Don’t fret, I have tried different things and they are just as tasty. They offer local beers, house margaritas and even margaritas flights all for those 21. Their enchiladas are delicious, I’ve even tried just a side enchilada one day (so I can heavily indulge in tacos), but even a side enchilada was great. Every time I have been here there’s been a lot of people but luckily, I have been able to find a table and courteous staff who come and bring you everything you need. Chicken, chorizo, carnitas, al pastor and more, meat, you’ll find it here. The fancy version and the simple version. Try both or even try them all, salads, burritos, chimichangas and more!
